NYFB on USDA trade relief announcement

NYFB President David Fisher has released a statement on announced trade relief

PUBLISHED ON July 25, 2018

"We hope that the trade matter will quickly be resolved because short term relief can only go so far when farmers need to plan for the long term," stated NYFB President David Fisher. (NYFB)

ALBANY — NYFB President David Fisher has released the following statement, in regards to the USDA’s trade relief announcement:

“The USDA’s $12 billion plan to support farmers caught up by the retaliatory tariffs slapped on U.S. agricultural products recognizes the dire need for some relief. Farmers are already facing the financial consequences of the trade barriers. Commodity prices are once again dropping at a time when farm income has been at its lowest point in years. Secretary Perdue has followed up on his word to address the huge impact that this has had on farmers, which is reflected in the size of the relief program. However, in the end, what our farmers are asking for are open markets to sell the quality products they produce. We hope that the trade matter will quickly be resolved because short term relief can only go so far when farmers need to plan for the long term.”

New York Farm Bureau is the State’s largest agricultural lobbying/trade organization. Its members and the public know the organization as “The Voice of New York Agriculture.” New York Farm Bureau is dedicated to solving the economic and public policy issues challenging the agricultural community.
